Grass frogs, also known as common frogs, are a common semiterrestrial frog that typically dwells in the grass. Common in Europe and also in some U.S. states, grassfrogs are insectivorous, semi-aquatic, web-footed amphibians with smooth skin and long hind legs. Source: TheFreeDictionary
According to Frog Facts, the common frog lives mainly on land during the breeding season, and can be found in meadows, gardens and woodland. They breed in ponds, even puddles, lakes and canals. They prefer areas of shallow water.
Grass frogs (common frogs) typically have a lifespan of 7 - 8 years, although that can be significantly shorter if the grassfrog encounters any of its natural predators.
Scientists who study frogs are called herpetologists.
From Wikipedia:Grassfrog or "grass frogs" are usually members of the tree frog family (Hylidae), in particular of the genus Litoria.
In most of the rest of the world, especially in North America and Europe, "grass frogs" are usually members of the true frog family (Ranidae), in particular of the genus Rana.
The Common Frog (Rana temporaria) is the typical "grass frog" of much of Europe, while the leopard frogs of the Rana pipiens complex - also known as "meadow frogs" - are what most North Americans know as "grass frogs". However, the Little Grass Frog (Pseudacris ocularis) of the southeastern USA belongs to the tree frogs.
The Spotted Grass Frog, Limnodynastes tasmaniensis belongs to the Australian ground frog family (Myobatrachidae).
